White Tiger Kung Fu, San Diego CA

The content and curriculum isn't just about kicking and punching. It's about a healthy well being physically, mentally, and spiritually. I've been going years, and will be for years to come. I didn't know what a complete system of Kung Fu was until I came here.

There aren't enough positive things I can say about this place. The lead instructors are as good as it gets in all aspects of life and martial arts. The Art itself will hold its own against anything you can imagine, and the knowledge you gain here is so invaluable its hard to quantify.

If you sense there is something more out there, something more you're capable of mentally, physically emotionally, and beyond; this is the place you are looking for. I can't recommend White Tiger enough!

I signed up my 5yr old daughter for their free zoom class (her teacher referred us) and she had a wonderful time learning some new things. Her instructor Ms. Vi was AMAZING my daughter loved her and all the other teachers I would definitely recommend them. I am grateful for the opportunity for my daughter to have received some very good skills from a great school thank you guys again we had a wonderful time. I would give more stars if I could

I studied Kung Fu at Authentic White Tiger with Sifu Jol and his team and it changed my life. LITERALLY, I got so much more than what I actually came for. Yes I started learning Kung Fu, yes I achieved awesome physical shape and never felt any more confident or strong, but there was/ is so much more.
My entire way thinking changed. Sifu Joel also introduced me to the amazing benefits of Eastern Medicine. I was very resistant until I experienced the astonishing results myself. When I started there, I was a Medicinal Chemist, working in pharmaceutical research, frequently "plagued" by migraines. I became so incredibly fascinated by Kung Fu and Eastern Medicine. Now I am running my own very busy acupuncture/ Chinese Medicine practice with offices in MA and NH. Yes- migraine free for decades (after all doctors/ specialists told me that would never happen) and Sifu Joel became my lifelong friend and mentor. Thank you for all Sifu Joel! I will keep on looking for ways to express my gratitude to you, your family and your team- my brothers and sisters. I do not want to imagine where I would be now, without ever having found White Tiger Kung Fu.

Wonderful staff and friendly environment. Always there to make sure I get what I need in training! Fun place to be with a group of fun and driven individuals.

Absolutely love training here. It's a very family oriented place. And the atmosphere is amazing. Just being here makes me feel at home.

During classes we focus on many things from health, leadership, life coaching, focus building and so many other things. Each class makes me feel inspired to do my best each and every day. Pushing myself that extra 1%.

Classes aren't challenging but they push you to your limit. That being said a brand new student off the street isn't going to be doing what the older students are. Workouts are tailored to each individuals abilities, while still getting to train in a group setting.

Since joining I've noticed so many results in my life it's staggering. As it's said the proof is in the results.

Benefits of this place go beyond words. Something special happens here. You can feel it. Fun atmosphere. Good, pure-hearted students. The head instructors have more knowledge than you can ever imagine- about martial arts and life in general. My confidence has gone up ten-fold since joining two years ago (and at the risk of sounding egoic, I will say my confidence already was at a solid base). Kung Fu will definitely make you work hard and definitely humble you too. I still have so much to learn, but I can't imagine going forward in life (let alone in martial arts) without White Tiger Kung Fu and this school specifically. I feel fortunate to have found it. If you're interested in martial arts, trust your gut. You've found the right place. Come on in!

This place exceeds my expectations every time I go. It doesn't matter how tired or sucky I feel for the day I always feel extremely rewarded for walking through those doors to train. The staff is very knowledgeable, caring, and attentive and they make me feel like they actually give a s#*% about getting me the results I need and I can say with confidence I'll be going here for a long time!

Ive been with White Tiger for almost a year now and I have loved every minute. It truly has been a life changing experience! I was a little intimidated at first but that quickly went away, everyone there makes you feel incredibly welcome; its more a family than it is a school! So if youre looking to learn self defense while getting in shape without the "macho" mentality, white tiger is the place for you!

I was looking for a complete martial arts school to get my family involved in and found White Tiger Kung Fu. Since then, it was the BEST decision I ever made. Sifu Joel and the other instructors are Great! Since practicing in the system, it has helped me discover more about my true self in such a short period of time that it has blown my mind. It has helped my whole family in ways i could not imagine. I am "Very Grateful" for being associated with White Tiger and it's family. THANK YOU!

If you ever find yourself saying things like. "I am too busy", "I am too stressed", "I am caught in the daily grind", "I feel like I am doing the same thing over and over each day", believe it or not, this Kung Fu School is the place for you. I am a busy professional that puts in on average 12 hour days and this school is the only thing that balances out my life and my marriage. Not only does it provide stress relief and allow me to be more centered, but it also has helped me to feel more confident and has given me necessary tools to defend myself if I ever need to. Every class is a little different so you get variety and there is always more to learn so you never get bored. If you are looking for something a little more from life, you owe it to yourself to check out this school!

An amazing school with awesome instructors! I couldn't imagine training anywhere else! White Tiger Kung Fu has taught me what I consider to be a useful style of Martial arts while helping me stay in shape. I look forward to each class because I know I'll always learn something new.

Before joining White Tiger I had studied at 5 different schools and sampled dozens of others over a 10 year period. White Tiger Kung Fu is by far the best school that I have trained with. The friendliness, positive attitudes and authentic information has kept my interest now for 17 years

I joined back August of 2013, and honestly felt this was my nich. After my first month, allot of things started to go wrong for me in life, and i thought about leaving because I thought i could not devote the time. I kept going anyways because I had made the choice to commit and stay committed.

Well it's December now, and I am still here, still learning, still growing. When you arrive you will feel the positive energy, then you will quickly get a wake up and notice, this isn't that over blown, over hyped, overly aggressive, we only want you money martial art school that are to common not just in movies, but in reality.

The people here from Sifu, down to the new student care for growth and supporting one another. For a long time I thought I was fine, but after having joined White Tiger, I have really begun to wake up, and truly learn about myself in a way that no book, inspirational dvd, or other activities has done, or could have done for me.

The knowledge I have gained has allowed me to apply what I have learned to not just a few altercations here and there, but also how I think about situations, and interacting with others from a misunderstanding, co-workers, to how I interact with my own family.

Along with how I interact with the world, the knowledge I have received, has also allowed me to become better at other activities I part take in, such as free diving. The meditations I learned have allowed me to not just go deeper, but also feel comfortable being at depth for extended periods of times.

Another example of how this system has benefited me physically, is I have become a little bit more resilient to injury. In the past when i rolled an ankle, injured a knee, elbow, wrist, neck, etc, I have been out of commission for some time. Now, through the knowledge gained, I am able to resist more injury, and my down time has been shortened significantly. Of course I am not invincible to injury, but I do enjoy not losing use of my hand for a day or two because I bumped it into a table.

I can not make any promises for you, I can only tell you what I have experienced, but I can say this, I have done all the hard work, I have put in the time, I am taking my knowledge, and applying it through out my life. No one else has done the work for me. I have learned what commitment, dedication, honesty to myself and those around me. These words used to be punch lines to me, but have transcended to being. I will not sugar coat this, but along with waking up to who I am, I have also had to deal with who I was and how to slowly shed that skin, and the worlds memory of who I was. It has been very difficult, with many pot holes, bumps, bruises, and face plants, but every time I got up and get walking, I have been better for it.

I look forward to continuing my evolution with White Tiger, and the knowledge I will continue to gain so I may be able to apply it to my life for the betterment of myself, and my family.

Lastly, yes you will get to punch, kick, hit bags, eventually spar, use weapons, injury prevention, injury healing, and many many other things. Just commit to the system, and what it has to teach, and I am fairly certain you to will notice the difference. In the end, the proof is in the results: D

I have some carpal tunnel in my right hand. I use Dit Dar Jow and it seems to help a lot. The pain goes away immediately. I use it other places when I have pain.

This amazing Kung Fu school easily gets a 5 star plus review. Several years ago I was experiencing chronic neck pain which came about when I was involved in a car accident. Physical therapy and Western medicine's medications weren't removing my pain. I decided to try to use Tai Chi to help heal my neck pain and came across Rizzo's Authentic White Tiger Kung Fu. For the price of what I expected to pay to learn just Tai Chi, I was able to join the entire program which included many different styles of Kung Fu forms, self defense techniques, ancient Chinese herbal knowledge, hard workouts, philosophy, and Tai Chi. Thanks to what I've learned at White Tiger, I am now 100% pain free and I have acquired a profound knowledge base to preserve the health of myself and my family. I fervently recommend this school to everyone anyone interested in personal growth.

I've been a student for over 3 years now and I'm in the best physical and mental shape than I have ever been. The fantastic part is that I continue to grow and develop each day. White Tiger Kung Fu has given me a safe environment to train to gain speed and confidence. The school is about family and helping each other grow. But it's not just about being able to throw a good punch. It's a way of thinking and living that can help you bring about the best in you, mind body and spirit.

White Tiger Kung Fu has it all. For those who are serious or recreational, for those who are experienced or novices, for those who want hard training and/or soft training, from sparring and forms, weapons, to Tai Chi, herbs and qigong (internal and external). You owe it to yourself to check this place out. It WILL change your life!

There is a reason people travel to this school, from all over the county, country, and even internationally to train in this system, with this Sifu. It has the history (lineage), the depth of knowledge on everything martial, from health, to self-defense, to getting in the best shape of your life. Mind, Body, and Spirit, nothing is left out. The RESULTS are real and they are AMAZING!
